A Horrible Week

It's been a horrible week as my title said!

I am so sick I can't feel my limbs, can't think straight, no mood for anything.
My nose is so blocked, I have been using like 2 boxes of Kleenex tissue, yet the yucky fluid is still there. From all the sniffing, my nose are sore and red, flanking pieces of dry skin from all the rubbing are just so unsightly.

Medicines doesn't seem to be working one bit, I feel so tired, yet when I had difficulty falling asleep. *sigh* Hope the virus goes away soon, my fingers have been busy at getting the flanky pieces of dry skin away from my nose... I look so so ugly.

Got a medical leave from work yesterday, back in the office today and trying to make myself in forcus. I really don't want to spread the virus to my colleagues, but I can't stay away from work long either... Hope they don't blame me.

Dark Gloomy Day - 19th August 2008

I'm sick, no mood for anything or whatsoever, no appetite and my nose is sore from all the rubbings I am having with tissues.

It's a bad bad flu, serious running nose, signs of a sore throat is appearing too. Oh god, I can see the dryness around my nose that is causing peeling. I am trying loads of water, but it doesn't seems to work. The medicines just doesn't seem to be working too.

Nights of waking up to drink water have been making me look bloated! Argh!!!! Okay, okay, I'm complaining, but I just feel so irritated! And I have always had bad reactions to flu medicines, I feel my heart jumping faster than usual and being so restless when I am just so tired. I feel myself waking up countless amount of times last night when I feel so tiring that I think I will die.

Still got to pull myself to work, I don't want to be seen using up the medical leaves when it is only August now, still 4 months to end of the year. What if I fall even sicker than now, I would have no more medical leave to apply then.

Office have been in a bit state of a chaos as usual. Guess this is unavoidable when there are different business units sharing the same space and getting use to each other takes quite a bit of a time... let's just pray that things would be working out good as everyone tries to get along. *sigh*

Okay, time to sniff out my nose again, think I have used up at least 2 boxes of tissues!!!

Wet Rainy Days in Singapore

That's it!
I have been observing that it always rain just after our car was given a quick 10 minutes wipe when we are lazy or just after a major sweating shampoo wash... is this just a coincidence or what?!! Just last evening, Patrick and the maid did a major bubble bath and wiping for the car, and after that, there's a light drizzling for 5 minutes. Just plain Horrible!

Wonderful news to share, I obtained my driving license, the much converted paper! On my first try at the scary driving test on 4th July 2008 morning, with a very very pressured mind, I proceeded with the pre test warm up which follow with the test. After the warm up driving lesson, my instructor parked the vehicle 139 at Lot 18, he told me that all test car parked at this lot have never failed to pass the test. I am still wondering if he is just pulling my leg or telling me the truth... We proceeded to the 2nd level where he told me to wait in a room with other test candidates, the metal chairs in the room was really uncomfortable as we waited like pigs being taken to the slaughter house.

About 10 minutes later, 3 officers came in, they proceeded with the drawing of lots to determine each candidates' test route. I drew test route 6, which needs me to go straight pass Teck Whye and turning in to Teck Whye past the Post Office...

Next, we were told to take a seat while waiting for the officer conducting the test. In a nervous state of mind, I heard my name being called, the tester did not wear a black sunglasses as I have imagined him to be. He is a elderly, rosy cheek man. The total difference from the stern tester I have been imagining for the past weeks. We proceeded to the car, he told me to relax and treat it as a normal lesson. Definitely, I must have look very nervous wrecked to him... At the end of the drive, he asked me to follow him to a room where other candidates have already finished and are getting their driving reviews from the testers. He marked me a demerit points of 10, and gave me a Passed!!!! Man, was I delighted! I thank and thank him, a very touchy moment for me. Thank you, God!

Patrick hubby tried out my driving skills on the night itself, he said I totally sucked and wonder how in God's name did I managed to pass the test. I told him that I just can't get used to our Nissan Sunny, since my driving lessons were always conducted via Honda Civic. Just another excuse...

I definitely needs more practices... *sign*

Bright Sunny Monday

Finally, after a rainy weekends, seems like a mini storm has been visiting Singapore. Deafening thunders, bolts of threatening lightings across the sky and eerie wind hallowing away...

Finally, today everyone woke up to a bright sunny morning, a good start for the first day of school. At least the students would not have to get all wet on the first day of school, imagine sitting in the classes for hours with soaking wet shoes!

Wow, a good start to Monday @ work for me too, only bad thing is to see the technician and Accounts Manager coming to me about getting their copier again... Been pestering about how good their copier is!! I just can't get the point of how good a copier is if the end product of it's printout is going to be purple when it shows blue on our computer screen... my patient's running thinner and thinner.

Guess some people's concept of color just isn't quite there, I just don't understand what is the use of getting a printer that doesn't print out colors that are at least close to what we see on screen. No choice, have to just see how things go, anywhere the copier company's leaving a test set in our office for 2 weeks.
